One of the categories on my todo app (I use Things, which I highly recommend) is "community." I realized today when creating a new todo and tagging it that I haven't used the "community" tag in a while. Do we even still view our communities as communities? Or have we moved to viewing our society on a larger level, all negative political and economic implications included? For me at least, when I think about my relationship with the world, I immediately go to the national level. I don't really consider my neighborhood, or my city or region. A lot of this seems to be due to the pandemic--most people don't go out very much anymore and rarely see their friends and neighbors, if at all. The affluent stay inside working remotely and watching Netflix, while the working class serve a community that isn't there. It's a bleak picture, and it appears to have happened without a lot of notice. But perhaps if we focus on community more, we can bring a sense of it back to where we live. After all, changing an aspect of one's community is presumedly a lot less daunting than mounting a campaign to change the nation, or the world. What if we all just tried to make our neighborhoods a little bit cleaner, a little friendlier, a little more understanding? Small tiny improvements, when implemented on a vast scale, can effect grand change. What small thing can you do to help your community?
